It’s what the teetotal cowboys used to drink in the cowboy films. It tastes a bit like disinfectant.
Did any of you partake in a “frozen Jubbly?
These were all the rage in the early 60’s Liverpool and area.
When we moved down south I was heartbroken to find that nobody stocked them.
I am led to believe sasparilla and root beer are pretty much one and the same.
I still want links, though!

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Ben Shaw’s of Huddersfield used to make a comprehensive range of fizzy pop, much of it sold in 1 Quart returnable glass bottles, later 1 litre, later in plastic, now long gone replaced by a much diminished range in piffling cans
Growing up in Sheffield during the ’60s the weekly delivery by the Popman was met with rather more enthusiasm than the daily delivery by the Milkman. My favourites were Cloudy (traditional) Lemonade and Orangeade
Don’t recall them making a Sarsaparilla, but others from memory were a White (clear) lemonade, Yellow Lemonade (looked like piss), Limeade, Cherryade (rich dark magenta), Cream Soda (hideous luminous green), Dandelion & Burdock (almost guinness black) Cola (as foul as the real thing), Ginger Beer, Shandy, Grapefruit, Vimto, Iron Brew
Gamble the Popman : nice

——————————————————————————-I remember what I think was a frozen Jubbly, if it’s in a square paper/cardboard
container with a bit at the top that opened in the same way the milk you got at
school opened. It was hard as a brick and you had to gnaw at it until it eventually
softened (seemed like hours later) I think it was raspberry or cola to my recollection.Takes me back, I can almost feel my teeth getting that frozen ache you sometimes got
I can remember your list of pop Drone, apart from the Grapefruit. I used to love,
on a Saturday when I got my pocket money, going down to the Locarno, a Italian family
owned Ice Cream parlour. My fav was getting Limeade, in a glass that you would normally
get a Knickerbocker Glory in, with a dollop of terrific Icecream.Brings back long forgotten memories
“Ideally Ben Shaws Danelion and Burdock, is the correct way to go for such above referred ‘Two-for-a-Bin-Lid’ offers.”

I lived in Sheffield (Totley) from 1969-1976 and I can vouch for Ben Shaws – it was take six empty glasses bottles back, get sixpence on each of them and walk out with a three and six full bottle in those days.

And, remarkably, footage of a young ID was captured doing just this….

Dandelion and Burdock is the nectar of the gods! The best part of the frozen jubbly was the melted bit at the very end. My grandsons drink Vimto. I was surprised to find they still made it. I’m dog sitting at their house for the week and need to refrain from drinking too much of it. They also have cupboards full of things like Chocolate HobNobs. A sad tale about Vimto is that 50 years ago I worked at Mrs Pipers cream tea cafe in Boscastle and her husband became very ill. I remember one of his last wishes was to have a glass of Vimto. I still think of him when I drink it. He once left the pub drunk and fell in the stream that went down to the sea. It went past the cafe so he was able to swim home….

Blimey, I was dangerously near you in first Millhouses and then Dore (posh or what). I think I’m about five years older than you (66) so I doubt our paths crossed. Dore Junior School and King Ecgbert Secondary School were my alma maters
Great area to grow up in. Fond memories of Blacka Moor, Oldhay Brook and dodging trains in Totley Railway Tunnel. Being a coward I never made it through to the other end at Grindleford but several pals with a death wish did
The home deliveries of Ben Shaws bottles were generally loose but if six were ordered they would be presented in a rather attractive blue crate
“‘Dandelion & Burdock was disgusting.’
Reported.”
From someone who eats cheese with cranberries in it.
CAS is a great man, but I almost pressed the report button for the d&b slur.
Drone,
Totley County Primary for me 1969/1974 then….
We only went to the same F ing secondary school!
King Ecgberts (1974/1976 – my family then moved to Hull).
I’m 59 so I expect you’d left by then.
And yes, Dore was posher than Totley!
